We can use his knowledge and skills for commercial purpose LOL. He is THAT good. Thank you so much. I’d appreciate it if you could explain a bit more on the difference between “equirectangular” and “equisolid angle” lenses, which 3D/360 cameras use which type of lenses, and how these lenses affect our video editing workflows. If we know which videos come from which type of lenses, theoretically we can edit any 3D(≈spatial)/VR180(immersive) videos regardless of the hardware from which they came.

Can you do tracking on insta 360 footage like the deep tracking option on their app?

[@hughhou]

It does not has edge aware so no, not really. But I track it myself and usually get better result as it has full velocity control here for tracking point animation instead of genetic animation. That is why literally all good 360 content is done in After Effects or Resolve.

[@SuT4G4Racing]

Very good video, one question, after using KartaVR and putting the image as you want, can normal tracking be used without any problem or can it give an error? Thank you very much in advance.

[@hughhou]

You probably want to "pre-comp" all the KartaVR effects or even render in place everything before use tracking. Then tracking just work like normal video. The idea in VFX is always "render in place" before you do another GPU intensive task - like tracking. As long as you use ProRes as suggested in this video, you can render as many pass as you want to speed up your process (if not, it will be a long wait as your GPU might run out of VRAM for doing so many things at once). I hope this help!

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

Hello Hugh, great tip to level 360-video in Qoocam studio. But too bad you cant set keyframes in 360 editing mode. Hopefully Kandao can add this in the future.

[@hughhou]

Why you need keyframe in 360 mode? Any keyframe you should do it in NLE - as the smoothing is better. Keyframe to only keep the camera straight not keyframe pov (which make people sick in VR). BTW, we are coming to PARIS at Oct!!

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

@@hughhou Because the horizon isnt always off in the same way. You can straighten the horizon with the grid on moment A and it doesnt have to be straight at moment B. I think keyframes in 360-mode would be very useful. It works the same way with levelling with Davinci resolve fusion.

Hi really good video, I watched the original about a year ago when I first got my 360. Could you make a video of your a basic workflow, for example , I have mixed footage, some from my phone and some from my 360. how do you do your workflow, do you have a couple time lines in the same project one with the 360 footage and then one with normal footage, then edit them both then combine. Would be really good to see how you combine the two and im sure many other people would also like to see one too thank you

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I am entering now into the video editing world and I learn a lot from your vids! I am using an Intel i7 12700k 3.60 GHz, 32GB RAM DDR5, nVidia RTX4060 and a Corsair MP600 SSD, and it is extremely slow with the 8k workflow you suggested. The performance monitor is not showing any resource at 100% usage, so I do not understand where is the bottle neck. What component do you think should be improved? I do not want to use FullHD resolution workflow, because in a few years from now it will look obsolete and I wish my video to live a little longer than that. Thank you in advance for your help.

[@hughhou]

Yes, you should try to use full resources. I think the GPU is the bottle neck. I never use 4060 or anything with less than 8G vram. Resolve is a GPU heavy application

Hey Hugh. I think I have a beginner question.... maybe will be helpful to more people. I have KvrViewer on an Adjustment Clip. I have reframed the shot. Now I wish to ad some speed ramps to it, but when I mess with the Retime Frame, it does no affect the adjustment clip as well, so my KVR reframe looses its link with the clip. Any tips? Thanks a lot if you have the time.

[@hughhou]

It is kinda like in Premiere, I will retime it first - nest or pre-comp (right click and comp the clip with retiming effect in it, or better, render in place as retime effect is very GPU intensive). If it is harder, just use the kvrViewer on the clip directly - adjustment layers is a best practices for long video but does not mean you need to follow it all the time. Both ways work

[@EnriqueLUrcia]

@@hughhou Really appreciate the fast response! I tried reframing and after making a Compound Clip to add after the Retime. OH of M1 Pro got very slow... I will try to retime first as you suggested... and also add music for only after doing the reframing. I believe is a much better workflow. Thanks a lot!!!

[@hughhou]

Yes for social media like KZbin Shorts, IG and TikTok since this is most people do reframe for - for their social media. For other video, I think 360 video and immersive format is way cooler. But this workflow also work with 16 by 9 up to 4K!

Oh I am so glad. Yes, my plan is to use 360 editing to get people to learn the basic / advance animation in Resolve. It is so powerful and for some reason, lots of tutorials on the Internet does not go deep. Lots of the stuff I also learn by doing and reading the forum. It is no fun. I hope this and upcoming series can save everyone headache and give back more time to go film instead of sitting in front of the computer lol.

Is there any AI tracking functionality similar to Insta360 Studio available in DaVinci Resolve? I've only found AI tracking for flat videos, but I haven't been able to find AI tracking features for 360 videos.

[@hughhou]

Resolve has AI tracking but it is not edge aware. So short answer no... But I personally never use AI tracking - I just track it myself make a smoother transition as I have full velocity control in Resolve.

[@mochouinard]

Is there a difference in quality from the insta360 & qoocam software to ProRes ? Should all insta360 x4 user use Qoocam export tool instead ? I've also had multiple clip to export, and it asked me more question in my export than it did for you. Ask me for direction lock, denoise and a few others... Maybe I have a newer version of insta360, or it because I'm on windows, or when you select multiple clips, you get a different option set... I let them all at the default, and let my computer export them and we will see what happen.

[@hughhou]

Oh no, this is just a good hack. But if you know how to adjust level, you can just go from Insta360 Studio to Resolve as Resolve in kvrViewer or ReframeUltra can also adjust level. I do that for Premiere edit as Premiere latest 2024 having some issue on VR rotate sphere and I need to use Qoocam Studio to save my a$$.

Yes. That is super annoying Resolve now make everyone paid to use script plugins. The community is angry but we can not do anything as Blackmagic realize most of their users do not pay and want them to pay as technically KartaVP provide feature that is only available in Studio. You can neither just use Insta360 Studio or buy any camera / hardware from Blackmagic and then you get the software for free for life. Or buy a second hand registration card online as people are selling it as they do not need it for cheap. Until Blackmagic fix this - there is not much we can do. It is a shame... The good note is, still way cheaper than Premiere subscription.

I guess there is no way to increase playback speed using retime controls for an adjustment layer? I suppose the best way to deal with this is to add the kvrViewer to the clip itself?

[@hughhou]

Actually adjustment layer is better than full clip - as you can cut just that adjustment layer and do reframe on the session you need to increase speed. Full clip will affect full clip render. If that make sense. Adjustment workflow is best practices even in Premiere.

[@wvansluisveld3011]

Thanks again boss, guess retime first and then adjustment layer seems to be the way to go

Free with love back brother

Haha thank you!!

What software would you recommend for improving 360 images? Neat Photo for denoise and Topaz Photo Ai for upscale? Or something else? And what for editing? Thought about just using Davinci also for photo editing since it brings everything needed for 3603D and others don't... Thanks a lot in advance :) I will buy your recommendation today if you answer. :)

[@hughhou]

I am making a tutorial about photo as we speak so I will answer you with an indepth tutorial!

[@captteemo9133]

​@@hughhouThis is great! 😍

[@captteemo9133]

​Please also consider 3D here... since all Editors can't display/handle it :/ (thats why o thought about using Resolve instead)

[@wvansluisveld3011]

Is it normal for Resolve to render with 3fps and run 2 render jobs for 1 timeline? That is what I am getting. I don't have a slow computer (MSI GE66 raider w/ i9 and RTX3080 16Gb VRAM). I don't mind the longer waiting time but as the video doesnt have realtime playback I have a lot of difficulty seeing what I am creating. The old school way of using the kvr ultra node in fusion does give me real-time playback.

[@hughhou]

Are you using kvrViewer on Edit page or Fusion page / Fusion Studio? If it is edit page - that is normal. Edit page require a lot more VRAM to run smoothly and strangely - work better on Mac Silicon (Blackmagic play favor!!) So I will suggest hit the magic pencil button and go to Fusion to reframe. The same on screen control is all there in Fusion and it is faster! Also turn off motion blur preview, high quality cache and drop your resolution to quater not Full to increase speed.

[@wvansluisveld3011]

@@hughhou I was following along your video in Edit. When going to fusion you lose the drag to reframe functionality? Any benefit in not going back to the old WF using kvr reframe ultra? I usually crop right in the middle, basically taking a more narrow crop from a wider reframe node which seems to be ok for quality. Any thoughts?

How to create 2D video to 180 3D sbs video in davinci resolve studio ( so that it can be watched in DeoVR ). Not the normal 3d sbs video but 180 3D sbs video. Can you please create a tutorial for it. It would be much useful

[@toxicjester]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial. 🫡💪

[@hughhou]

Glad it was helpful!

[@meganxshoots]

I'm following this tutorial and at 10:52 everything starts to crumble. I've done the kveViewer and unchecked Tiny Planet, Auto Resolution, set the width and height to match the 8k timeline resolution, zoom set to 1.0, Timeline in Scale Full Frame with Crop, and yet everything looks super squished vertically. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix that pleaseeeee?

[@hughhou]

Check timeline scale settings? Also are you reviewing it in Fusion? If Fusion look correct the render will look correct as Edit page go tho Fusion and go to render.

[@meganxshoots]

@@hughhou Hey hugh, thank you for replying!!! Unfortunately, it's still not working - i wish I can send over a screenshot. I've initially added the KVRViewer to the adjustment clip, but that wouldn't give me a node in fusion. So i've started the same process in Fusion again and yield the same results. I'd love to make this work as this seems to be a way better workflow to Premier pro.

[@meganxshoots]

Seems like the video is stitched at the wrong spot 😭, My timeline setting is 4320x7680 and Mismatched resoution set at Scale Full Frame with Crop - pls lmk if these are correct, thanks hugh, any help would be grately appreciated

[@visualsbymada]

im having issues with seeing my spline, all my values are not there, can anyone help

[@hughhou]

Strange. Try to fit to screen or scroll the time line?

[@EricBrown-gz4qu]

Im confused. Is there a hack for 8k video input in the free version?

[@hughhou]

Not yet. We are still working on the hack. Hopefully come soon. Right now there is none.

[@EricBrown-gz4qu]

@@hughhou Great! Thanks

[@acena360]

Master Hugh, the imitators will have to study this new tutorial in depth lol!!! Master, don't forget that we have doubts about how to use the FB360 Encoder for Muxing, because the FB360 Encoder does not accept ProRes files. We do not want to use mp4 with H264 or H265 codecs, so all we can do is export ProRes 8K and publish it on KZbin as you taught us in the previous tutorial. In this case, our step with Reaper and FB is dead! Big hug!❤❤❤

[@hughhou]

Mmmmm, you don't use FB360 for KZbin release tho. On Meta is H265 only so FB360 work fine. For KZbin is only 4-ch you can use Premiere or just mux them together and use the Google Spatial Injection tool. I will figure out a more streamline Resolve workflow now Resolve 19 support ambisonic audio finally!

[@acena360]

@@hughhou I miss FB360 running in Reaper in third order! If we use ProRes export in Premiere, we are restricted to 4 ch. And if we use H265 export for FB360 Encoder we have a loss of image quality. Does H265 also have a limit of up to 60Mbps? Maybe this fouxi ambisonic in Resoove is the solution! Thanks master!

[@jayes5066]

is there a simple way (not ai intensive since that's only method Ive found), to frame 180 to 16:9(ish, slightly wider avoids black bars) sbs half without the fisheye effect. wish more creators would use 3d widescreen over 180/360.

[@hughhou]

Oh yes! This is touch on 180 but focus on 360 only. But yes, I will make a dedicated one for 180 reframe. Hold tight!
